Re: Warning:To all incremental patchers!!!!

the advise xpnl but as long as my Game does Crash when i try to join a Server (thats almost EVERYTIME) and there's still a f****ing Memory leak eating up my 1024MB of RAM, a f***ed up Engine that does not run above 60FPS on my FX5900XT (all settings on Medium) and as long as i got a 600kBit I-Net connection i won't dl a 450MB Patch or care about damn Server crashes.

Re: Warning:To all incremental patchers!!!!

If you read these forums you would know people are having problems with CTD with the incremental patch and the fix is to install the full patch. You would also know not to click the join button and to hit ESC instead. You are dreaming if you think you will get above 60FPS with a FX5900XT all settings medium and only a gig of RAM. I don't get over 60FPS with a 5950 ultra and 1.5 gig of RAM with all settings medium, dynamic lighting and shadows off and Geomtry high.

Re: Warning:To all incremental patchers!!!!

I hate to break it to you Crow but that had nothing to do with server crashes. They made an update for GS and all we had to do was reboot our servers. Now it has done sweet f*ck all to stop the server crashes. The servers still crash the same before and after this so called fix.

I suggest that it won't hurt for anyone that did patch with the incremental to just re-patch anyway with the full patch.

Apparantly the version that the beta testers tested isn't the same version we have now. In fact it was reported that the version the beta testers had didn't have these server crashing problems.

yes but what im saying is that it isnt the incremental patch causing the crash's an every thing else,
i also had the same problem with the full patch until they revert my server back to normal.
so to say its the incremental that makes these problems is not true.
an when the post of ea was released they said what it was the server update but for people they still get the same problem but not as bad.
an the original errer was with the servers i know(ea an gs got there servers updated as last mintue dission to add to the patch).
the errer is in the programing still.

Re: Warning:To all incremental patchers!!!!

Apparantly though the server crashes have been tested by a clan using trinity servers and they could reproduce the crash and they claim it was caused by "clients" who only patched using the incremental.

Agreed. From what it looks like it is clients who have some sort of bad patch installed(I hear it orignated from the EA downloader and that during install you get a corruption error but it continues the install fine) that will not only crash their game but also the server when they first try to pick a spawn point. [OBC]Deathtrain said his clan was testing it out and was able to duplicate it. There is a discussion about it in the trinitygames.com Battlefield 2 forums. TrinityGames pushed it up to EA/DICE and for the most part it seems this was dead on for what has been happening but there hasn't been anymore talk about it today.

I have been having CTD's...I'm going to try this out, I doubt it could get much worse (shrug)

it dosnt say incremental in that qoute it only says bad patching
so to say but im still waiting on official reply off EA/DICE even that post that some made is not from EA/DICE,
when the errors started we had a post of EA now for this error we've had nothing which leads me to belive none of it.
but that a different story but the main thing is that it dosnt say incremental.

Re: Warning:To all incremental patchers!!!!

Actually they are referring to the full patch that was available through EA downloader here's the thread.

Re: Warning:To all incremental patchers!!!!

I installed the incremental, I had 2 CTD's that night. So I did nothing at all and have had only 1 CTD since which is about normal (while on 64k throttled bandwidth).

The server crashing is not caused by the changed Gamespy protocol, that was rolled back a week ago.

Half of the people who noticed improvements after first installing the incremental then the full patch are suggesting it was the patch install type that improved things, but it's not. It's just that while they were uninstalling and reinstalling the boffins were busily rolling back the Gamespy protocol and rebooting the servers. There is nothing wrong with the incremental patch (well there's a lot wrong with it really - unwanted gameplay changes and additions etc, but it's no different to installing the full patch).
